"The holiest soil on earth
is that of Pakistan and we cannot tolerate the unholy presence
of Nancy Powell on our holy land. Her presence keeps us away from
Allah's blessings. Pakistan should cleanse itself from her unholy
existence… Allah has told us to make atom bombs. America is telling
us not to. Who should we listen to O Muslims, Allah or America?
Kashmir will not be solved by talks, not by American arbitration,
not by its division but only by jihad, jihad, jihad!... The Hindus
were terrorists yesterday, they are terrorists today and they
will remain terrorists tomorrow. We are right in seeking revenge
from these spawns of evil."

- Taped speech of Hafiz Muhammad
Saeed, chief of Lashkar-e-Toiba, played on Kashmir Day,
at the Jamia Mosque Ghousia, Rawalpindi, February 2003.

"I have come here because
this is my duty to tell you that Muslims should not rest in peace
until we have destroyed America and India."

- Masood Azhar, Chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad,
January 5, 2000.

"We pray that Iraqis would
continue to resist American tyranny and terror and we believe
victory will come to them in the long run… History would record
the sacrifice of Iraqi people in defence of their sovereignty
and independence threatened by US imperialism… The attack was
motivated by US designs to grab oil resources of the Iraqi people
and enslave them."

"We have the nuclear capability
that can destroy Madras (India), surely the same missile can do
the same to Tel Aviv. Washington cannot stop Muslim suicidal attacks.
Taliban are still alive and along with "friends" they will continue
the holy jihad against the U.S. America will destroy Iraq and
later on repeat the same act of war against Pakistan, Iran, Syria
and Saudi Arabia."

- Gen. Hamid Gul, former ISI chief,
Islamabad, March 2003.

Many Western Scholars have pointed
their accusing fingers at some of the … verses in the Qur’an to
be able to contend that world of Islam is in a state of perpetual
struggle against the non-Muslims. As to them it is sufficient
answer to make, if one were to point out, that the defiance of
God’s authority by one who is His slave exposes that slave to
the risk of being held guilty of treason and such a one, in the
perspective of Islamic law, is indeed to be treated as a sort
of that cancerous growth on that organism of humanity, which has
been created "Kanafsin Wahidatin" that is, like one,
single, indivisible self. It thus becomes necessary to remove
the cancerous malformation even if it be by surgical means (if
it would not respond to other treatment), in order to save the
rest of Humanity… The idea of Ummah of Mohammad, the Prophet of
Islam, is incapable of being realised within the framework of
territorial states much less made an enduring basis of viewing
the world as having been polarised between the world of Islam
and the world of war. Islam, in my understanding, does
not subscribe to the concept of the territorial state…

"Terror struck into the hearts
of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end in itself. Once
a condition of terror into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly
anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means
and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing
decision upon the enemy (sic); it is the decision
we wish to impose upon him."

- Brig. S.K. Malik, The Quranic
Concept of War, 1986, p. 59.

America wants to destroy all Muslim
countries one after another, so let us go and fight in the way
of Allah.

- Maulana Rahmatullah, Tanzeem-i-Ulma,
Peshawar, April 3, 2003

If the U.S. attacks Iraq, the
MMA alliance and all their supporters will attack Washington and
Tel Aviv.

- Sami ul-Haq, MMA leader,
Islamabad, March 2003

There are thousands ready to go
for Jihad but they are waiting for the request from the Taliban.

The Taliban are a symbol of Islam. This will
be a long war against the infidel forces. They want to eliminate
Muslims.

- Maulana Samiul Haq, Chief of his own faction
of Jamaat-Ulema-e-Islam,
Karachi, October 26, 2001

The United States has waged a crusade against
the Muslims and, unfortunately, Pakistan's rulers are supporting
her to carry out the genocide of Afghans in the name of curbing
so-called terrorism… Musharraf is playing the role of an informer
of the US and Islam declares the death penalty for such people.

American repression and imperialism
is a challenge for the entire Muslim world… [linking Osama with
attacks in the US is part of a plan to pave wave for the US’]
sinister plans to strike against Afghanistan.

The real war has just started…
After Palestine and Afghanistan, now Iraq will also give birth
to holy warriors. Who will free me from the clutches of Jews?

- Zarb-e-Momin, publication
backed by Jaish-e-Mohammed, April 2003.

Muslim blood is being extracted
to serve Jews' interest.

backed by Lashkar-e-Toiba, April 2003.

"This is a matter of happiness
for us that we are going to announce the holy war against Bush
and his cronies from NWFP where the members of religious alliance
are in power… It's enough and an eye opener for the Muslim Ummah
to retaliate immediately as God's enemies (Americans and Britons)
have imposed the worst kind of brutalities on the innocent Muslims…
The MMA government must take steps for sending the faithful to
Iraq to fight alongside their Iraqi brothers… Jihad is the lone
weapon with Muslims to safeguard their rights and honour while
such US attacks and cruelties on the Muslim would open more doors
of the holy war."

"We do not consider ourselves
separate from Taliban or Afghanistan. Our history, our religion
and blood and culture are the same. The Taliban government is
our ideal government and we want a similar one in Pakistan because
it has peace, equality and justice. We consider the war against
Osama and Taliban a war against us, Pakistanis and Pakistan."

- Maulana Azam Tariq, Member
of National Assembly from Jhang constituency and chief of Sunni
group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, January 2003.

The US can declare us terrorists,
but even then, we will continue waging war in India… The military
government's biggest mistake is that it is not wising up its own
people on the crucial juncture in the freedom movement in Kashmir…
Pakistan must complete its nuclear programme and strengthen its
defence missile system to apply pressure on India besides taking
its own people into confidence… We must not toe the US line in
Afghanistan as it would be our greatest support in case of war
with India. Support from China and the Islamic world should also
be sought in this regard.

Bush wants the world to embrace
Christianity. Muslims are being oppressed in Kashmir, Palestine,
Bosnia, Chechnya and India. Muslim women are being raped in these
countries. Jihad, under such a situation becomes obligatory… Jamaat
will not confront with the army, but continue to wage jihad in
the world. War with the infidels will not end through negotiations
but through fighting. There is no possibility of compromise with
the infidels.
